- Pro: Developers/office workers who want a work agent and a coding agent (Vibe Code) together for about $15 a month. It is cheaper than the paid plans of ChatGPT/Claude.
- Education (students): If you can verify as a student, you get Pro features for $5.99 a month, which is the best value.
- Team: Small teams that share internal documents and work together, especially companies that prefer European data standards.
- Enterprise: Companies/public institutions that cannot send data to an outside cloud and must install AI on their own servers.
- API: Developers who want to use open-weight models and the commercial API together. Small 4 suits cheap bulk processing, and Medium 3.5 or Large 4 suits high performance.
